Ops Foundation

Ops Foundation is 4 dedicated days of pure, high-octane learning for ops execs and administrators ready to level up in the world of operations. Explore your role in the industry, get face-to-face with experts, network with peers, and spend time exploring the places most ops pros do not tread. You’ll 'get building', 'get technical', go down in the basement, rig truss, explore AV, feature management, navigate the world of logistics and understand the wider world of ops.

What our candidates say...

“I’ve never had such hands on experience. Building shell scheme from scratch, pulling mains, creating podcasts, manoeuvring forklifts, programming an LED skin and going up in the roof at ExCeL. I met so many great people, suppliers and ops professionals who I have no doubt I’ll work with in the future. Thanks for such seamless and enriching training!”
